Dusty Mush – s/t 12″ EP

DUSTY MUSH is the newest addition to the line-up at Howlin’ Banana Records. Based in Île-de-France, the trio recorded, mixed and mastered their new 12″ EP full of psych-inflected garage rock.

Howlin’ Banana Records released the EP in a short run of 250 clear vinyl copies, designed with vibrant, custom-made artwork from Druggy Pizza. The record is truly DIY-inspired from front to back, now the only thing left worth mentioning is the menacing, psych-induced rock it’s littered with.

“Space Cat” begins their EP with a gritty crunch, loaded with warbled textures and colorful guitar solos. It’s like garage rock wrapped in tin foil and held under a flame before being launched into space. That said some of these tracks have a gazey, strung-out quality, like you’re being pulled into orbit by some gravitational force (“There Was More Future” and “Tom Pitt’s Acid Trip”). Aside from that, “My Weird Moustache” offers up a bluesy, surf-flavored stomp led by sandblasted guitar textures and cavernous yelps. EP highlight “Brad Cruise” unfolds with a menacing choogle, charging like a runaway train through the night. Gritty blasts of metal-tinged guitars come in waves, blowing the track wide open with a dose of head-splitting fuzz. They stop at nothing in their relentless approach, serving up an LSD-fueled take on garage rock that will raise the hair on the back your neck.
